Walk on the Free Side

So this one is quite easy to do actually. Oh and we got space lift
up as I was creating this.

Holly lives in Miami, FLA
Surfed through the net
Plucked his system free
installed GNU/Linux
then he was free

ref
she said hey babe
take a walk on the free side
said hey honey
take a walk on the free side

Candy came from out on the island
in the chat-room she was everybody's darling
but she never lost connect even
when she was sharing connect

she says hey babe
take a walk on the free side
said hey babe
take a walk on the free side

and the soundcard goes:

do-do-do-do-de-do

Little Joe never once buyed
every software at no cost
a GNU there a GNU here
New York city is the place
where they say:

Hey babe
take a walk on the free side
Hey you
take a walk on the free side

Sugarpump fairy
came and hit FTP
looking for
GNU/Linux and GCC
went to GNU.org
should see him
compile and compile

They said hey sugar
take a walk on the free side
I said hey sugar
take a walk on the free side

Jackie is just hacking away
Knows she's good
thought she was Turing for a day
slashdot would have helped that crash

Said hey babe
take a walk on the free side
said hey honey
take a walk on the free side

First a Swedish text than followed with a bad translation to
English. The original is a really horrible communist text that among
other things says that Stalin was good. I do not agree to this, quite
the opposite. Some other notes, I'm certanly not good enough to call
myself a hacker but I might have put some text that would imply that.
Also this is made jokingly, I saw “Revolution OS” where
RMS made that in the 60's political movments splits everybody get
freaking mad at each other but the Free Software against Open Source
conflict is only about philosophy and words, both sides can and do work
together. (Mind you the way Linus seemed to use his kids when RMS got
the price named after Linus (and RMS mentioned the strangeness of
that) seemed quite that way of acting, but I guess that was
unintentional).

1996 a wave of free software propagated the net hackers
and others spontnously struggled for freer software and better
software licenses that showed the bugs in the freesoftware moment.
Many in leading positions wanted to tune down the propagande for a
full convertion to free software. They gave up the spontane, the
unconscious in the hacker struggle. The freesoftware movement forked
in one small commercial and one revolutionary part. In the FSF where
F stands for Freedom it's known that it's the hackers object to lift
and change the unknowing and spontaneous struggle to an conscious and
knowing struggle for totally free software. In the FSF the fork is not
seen as something bad in it self. All the different the fork was good
and needed to unite hackers on a base of freedom, just as the 8086
base get strength under Torvalds, just as AI-labbet get strength under
RMS in the struggle against Freedom haters, just so will the netbased
freedom movement get strength from the struggle against the commercial
influence

ref: That we learn, we learn, that we learn from
history * 3

That's why we wrote this song
When the freedom struggle started
and the scream wild propagation spontaneously came front
parts of the movements lead started to fall
and talk about more company friendly licenses
desk-hackers become afraid when the freedom fight sharpens

ref

We read Knuth and RMS
and attacked the commercialists' reformism
we chose the unnerving struggles way
and unity on the hacker ethics base
we acted as hackers should act when
the struggle for freedom sharpens

ref

Now as we become free from
the small commercialists that writes Open Source
hackers can start to build the movement
that is their historic object and [plict]
small commercialists and reformists can
never build the movement

ref

the fork was something good
we get away of those that hindered
the movments non-commercial development
we stands stronger today than ever before
the movement is strengthened by the struggle against
fails from freedom
